چکیده

We report composition dependent structure evolution from SrTiO3 to SrFe0.5Ta0.5O3 by powder X-ray and neutron diffraction studies of SrTi1-2xFexTaxO3 (0.00 ≤ × ≤ 0.50) compositions. Structural studies reveal cubic (Pm3m) perovskite-type structure of the parent SrTiO3 for x up to 0.075 and cation disordered orthorhombic (Pbnm) perovskite-type structure for x ≥ 0.33. A biphasic region consisting of a mixture of cubic and orthorhombic structures is found in the range for 0.10 ≤ × ≤ 0.25. Dielectric studies reveal transformation from a normal dielectric to relaxor like properties with increasing Fe(3+) and Ta(5+) concentration. Dielectric response is maximum at x = 0.33 in the series. The results establish a protocol for designing new lead-free relaxor materials based on the co-substitution of Fe(3+) and Ta(5+) for Ti(4+) in SrTiO3. A complex interplay of strain effects arising from distribution of cations at the octahedral sites of the perovskite structure controls the dielectric properties.

PREDICTION OF DIELECTRIC DISPERSION FOR LEAD BASED PEROVSKITES AND STUDY OF LOCAL DIELECTRIC RESPONSE IN 0.75Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.25PbTiO3

Relaxor ferroelectrics have been used in a variety of applications, such as piezoelectrics, capacitors, and transducers. Relaxors exhibit broadened permittivity peaks with dispersion of the frequencydependent dielectric constant. In particular, T ;max, the temperature maximum of the ð!Þ, follows the Vogel Fulcher relationship described by ! 1⁄4 !0e Ua=kBðT ;max Tf Þ; ð1Þ where ! is a frequency ...

Subterahertz dielectric relaxation in lead-free Ba(Zr,Ti)O3 relaxor ferroelectrics

Relaxors are complex materials with unusual properties that have been puzzling the scientific community since their discovery. The main characteristic of relaxors, that is, their dielectric relaxation, remains unclear and is still under debate. The difficulty to conduct measurements at frequencies ranging from ≃1 GHz to ≃1 THz and the challenge of developing models to capture their complex dyna...

Studying the effects of adding CeO2 and CuO on electrical properties of lead free (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 piezoceramics

Lead-free (Ba0.85Ca0.15)[(Zr0.1Ti0.9)]O3 (BCZT) piezoceramics were synthesized using solid-state ceramic processing. In order to improve the electrical properties CeO2 and CuO additives/dopants were used and two methods were employed to introduce theses oxides; one, in which 0.1 mol.% CeO2 was mixed with the raw materials and the composition was balanced for A-site substitution (BCCe0.1ZT) and ...

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu)  were studied  for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...
